Single, full r. groove. Move the groove and friction bond a wear cap ? My thought is to rough-in the groove to + .003" +/-, finish dia. with heated stem
while pressure rolling groove to fin dia.(density) ? Install stem dia. cap with friction turning ?

Re: Shorten Ti valve stems
I would think that after the valve is manufactured it would be stress relieved among other post treatments. Do you have the capacity to replicate the manufacturers processes?
Wouldn't the wear cap be a neat fit over the stem when installed?
Custom Ti valves are not that expensive.
Cheers.

Re: Shorten Ti valve stems
I see there are single round groove locks, that have a shoulder. This to accept the od. of a lash cap ? Going one step further, why not have the
lip of the cap, just touch the top of the lock ? I haven't seen those one piece, lock and lash cap, for this configuration ?
Thanks, Art.
